exists in the French language some words from the Persian more or less. "Assassin" in fact gone. To be exact, the word does not come from the Persian but Arabic "Hashishin (Hashish smoker). That said, it is closely linked to the country's history.
I already see some say that he would emigrate from here rather than in Belgium, but no, ... Iran is not the country of smoking hashish. It's just that the famous sect of "Assassins" was founded in the eleventh century in northern Iran today.
To summarize, this sect had an important role throughout the Middle East at that time. She was extremely feared by world leaders as capable of striking directly at the top of the state. His "emissaries" to whom it was in paradise before taste (this is where the Hashish), did not hesitate to sacrifice to reach their target. For more details, take a look on Wikipedia.
But back to our pink elephants ...
This community built several fortresses on the slopes of the Alborz. The castle of Alamut is the best known of them. He no longer has its former greatness, but it remains a mythical place for history buffs (and the Iranians also in view of site traffic). Even now, the castle commands respect, and we guess that what could be the feeling of travelers as they passed close by: the top of a rocky outcrop, it seems invincible today.
The second is broader, and somewhat better preserved than the castle of Alamut. The site is even more beautiful because it overlooks a lake (but is not seen in the photo damage).
